I was just watching the Sun webcast at :

http://webevents.broadcast.com/sunmicrosystems/sun0899/

And I got the totally opposite impression.  The Sun guys
were literally begging the Linux distros to pick StarOffice up.
I do clearly remember them saying that StarOffice is free
to distribute.  Dont believe me?  Watch the webcast.  Its a long
one but he says it at least a couple of times in the first quarter
of the event alone.  I didn't watch it all.
